I am not sure what it is about this recipe… it doesn’t look like much, but it is really nice. I am sure Mum liked it because it is easy to prepare but tastes like something that is a lot of work. I know it is one of Moira’s favourites.
1/2 oz butter
2lb chuck or blade steak, cut 1″ thick
1 envelope of french onion soup mix (the big sachets - make about 2L, I think)
1/2 green capsicum
2 tomatoes
1/2 cup tomato juice
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp cornflour
chopped parsley
Grease 20 inch piece of foil (or use a casserole dish with a lid)
Cut steak into serving pieces
Arrange the steak on the foil (or in the casserole) overlapping each piece
Sprinkle with soup mix, chopped green capsicum, and peeled sliced tomatoes
Season with salt and pepper
Mix together the tomato juice, sauce and cornflour. Pour over the meat.
Bring foil up and double fold the edges to seal the package (or put the lid on the casserole)
Stand foil parcel in a shallow baking dish.
Bake 2 hours in a moderate oven (less if the meat is thinner)
Roll back the foil and sprinkle the meat with parsley to serve.
